friends

oakley's pov

"go to class" stephanie teased me. "you know his ass ain't never where he's supposed to be" ricky laughed. i chuckled and briefly took a glance past stephanie. i saw adriana talking to johnny. 

my eyes were glued to them both and i didn't even attempt to hide it. stephanie was saying some flirty bullshit and caressing my arm but i wasn't paying attention. 

adriana giggled at whatever the hell johnny said. i felt a piece of my heart break. adriana and i locked eyes and it was like something out of a movie. in slow motion i saw her place her lips onto johnnys -- my blood boiled. 

i shook my head and watched as adriana took her pompoms and left outside leaving johnny alone in the hallway. oakley, don't get any ideas. you're a psycho. y'know what? fuck it. 

"yo man, where you going?" ricky asked. 

"be right back" i muttered. 

i carried myself down the hall and walked to johnny. "hey man" i greeted him as calmly as possible. "hey, what's up?" johnny asked confused. "i think i saw the team leavin' in the buses toward the back of the school" i said pointing behind us.

johnny furrowed his brows. c'mon man, just fucking believe me. "you sure?" he asked. "yeah, i'll show you." and so according to my plan, johnny followed behind the school. 

"yo, i don't see anyon--"

before johnny could finish his sentence, my fist made the heaviest contact with his jaw, pushing him on the ground. my arms never stopped swinging and i even threw some kicks in there as well. lol.

"fuck man! chill" johnny managed to say between punches. he tried fighting back but was too weak to. after a while, he was weak on the ground, leaning against the building. blood fled from his nose. 

"stay away from adriana" i said lowly. johnny looked up at me with fire in his eyes. he knew he couldn't stand a chance being so low in strength. he spit out blood. 

"no chance in hell" johnny spat. i chuckled and looked down. "you're tough, man" i said. i pulled out a small pocket knife from my joggers. i flicked it open and placed it firmly against johnny's neck, without penetrating, of course. i'm not a mental patient.

"next time i catch you even breathin' close to her, it'll be worse, i promise you mate" i said staring daggers in johnnys eyes. "we'll fucking see about that" johnny said. 

fuck, he's lowkey tough to crack. i pressed the knife firmly enough to draw some blood on johnny's arm. 

"fuck yeah, we'll see." 

i left with that and made my way off of campus to skip the rest of the day. i texted adriana a bit and we were flirting. this new feeling overtook my entire nervous system. 

with the rest of my free time, i did drops with some of my other homies. i was saving up for a car. with the money i been making trapping, i'm so close to getting my dream car. i was considering joining a group in my neighborhood with ricky. 

by group, of course i meant "gang." 

no big deal. 

i got home at around 5pm. it was quiet in the house. i locked the door behind me. "gram?" i shouted out. no response. okay don't be alarmed. she could be asleep or in the restroom.

i speed walked to our hallway where our rooms are. i knocked before entering, "gram?" i shouted a bit louder. i opened the door to reveal my grandmother on the ground. 

unconscious. 

my heart began beating a million times a minute. i kneeled down quickly and started shaking her, "gram please, wake up" i shouted. she didn't wake up. i immediately dialed 911 on my phone and let the operator know what was happening.

i picked her up and carried her to the living room and laid her on the couch. i was on the phone with the operator the whole time. soon enough, the ambulance arrived.

they asked me some questions but honestly my mind was so scattered. "we found a pulse" one of the paramedics shouted, causing me to breath a sigh of relief. i watched as they strapped her onto the stretcher.

my eyes were swelling with tears. i never thought i'd see my grandmother in this situation. if only i had just went straight home after kicking johnny's ass. or even if i stayed home from school today. she'd be okay. not being taken to the fucking hospital.

no one even knows how fucking tough my life has been. i feel like i let all of my rage out on johnny. poor guy. i mean i was still mad he kissed adriana but still. he even got my name wrong that one time. that dickhead deserved it.

i rid with my grandma to the hospital. once i got there, i took my phone out and texted lydia what happened with gram. since they're best friends, i'm sure she'd want to know.

adriana - 6:13pm

hey my grandma told me what happened, everything okay?

oakley - 6:13pm

idk yet

we just got a room in the hospital

adriana - 6:14pm

lmk if its okay if me and my grandma drop by to visit. 

i'm so sorry about what happened

oakley - 6:15pm

it's not your fault 

and yeah, come whenever, the doctors seeing her rn

the doctor said it was because her blood sugar levels were too low it caused her to go into diabetic shock. since she's old, everything became too much, and she collapsed. 

she was going to stay overnight to monitor her sugar levels. i felt so terrible. i sat down in the chair beside the bed and my head hung low above my knees. i held my grandmas hand. 

soon, i heard a knock on the hospital door. my head followed the sound. adriana and lydia. a kind smile plastered on both of their faces. but lydia's dropped as soon she saw gram.

adriana carried a vase of flowers while lydia had a stuffed teddy bear. "hi" adriana smiled. "hey, thank you guys for coming" i said. "of course" adriana placed the flowers on the bedside table.

"do you want some alone time, grandma?" adriana asked lydia. lydia frowned and nodded. we both exited the room. "they're keepin' her overnight" i said lowly. 

adriana wrapped her arms around me into a warm hug, "she'll be okay" she cooed. i hugged her back, "i really hope so" 

out of everything i've learned about adriana since meeting her in detention, i learned she has such a kind heart. it made me envious because of how she was able to be so empathetic with me when all ive done is be an asshole to her.

why did i like her so much? and why did i feel like she'd ever be with a guy like me? 

"if you ever need help with anything, you can always call me" adriana told me. she placed a kiss on my cheek. "thanks" i replied. i felt heat rise to my cheeks. damn it.

"of course, what are friends for?"
